Moon Glow and Twisted Brew

Moon Glow and Twisted Brew is the second book in the Children of the Light series. Through exciting adventures, nine children living in two neighboring lighthouses learn about the special gifts received as Fruit of the Spirit, as found in Galatians 5:22-23. Based on historical facts of the period, the fictional stories take place near remote lighthouses located in northern Wisconsin in 1884.

While looking at the stars one night on Cobblestone Island, eleven year-old Julia Bates and her twelve year-old sister, Lillian, overhear a shocking conversation. They hear a man and woman whisper about making mysterious concoctions. Later they discover in the woods, a crude little building full of bubbling pots containing dangerous brew. They are terrified when they look on the cauldrons and see written in chalk, the names of people they know and love.

Events come to a thrilling climax on the evening of a lunar eclipse. Ten year-old Paulina Bates and her twelve year-old brother, Luke, witness something horrifying. They rush off during the night to investigate. With the help of their three friends from Cottage Parakaleo, Julia and Paulina each make an important discovery.

Julia, who struggles to keep up a cheerful attitude, learns the difference between joy and happiness. Paulina, who feels anxious about two close friends, is led to find the true source of peace. Both sisters realize that God has created them to shine as lights in a darkened world. They understand that joy and peace are Fruit of the Spirit especially gifted to them but meant for all.
